My research focuses on the community ecology of plant-rhizosphere mutualisms.My research program
explores the community ecology of plant symbioses and focuses in three
overlapping areas: 1) What drives distributions of symbiotic communities across
broad spatial ranges, 2) mechanistically, what drives the structure of
symbiotic communities at smaller spatial scales (plant scale), and 3) How do shifts in symbiotic community structure influence host functioning, plant community structure, and ecosystem functioning.
